Russian President Vladimir Putin said that those doing business with Russia "will not panic and run," according to TASS, Russia's state news agency.
Putin recalled that Ukrainian authorities had attempted to scare off guests attending the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), the report said.
Context of remarks not fully detailed
TASS's report did not specify how or when Ukrainian authorities allegedly attempted to deter forum attendees, nor did it include a response from Ukrainian officials to the claim.
It also did not indicate the setting in which Putin made these remarks or provide additional detail on which international companies or investors he was referring to as continuing to work with Russia.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is an annual event historically used by Russia to showcase investment opportunities and business ties, though its scale and international attendance have shifted since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the sanctions that followed.
Further details on the current state of foreign business engagement with Russia were not included in the available report.
